Publisher Description

Ridley Jones is being careful about where she steps and trying to get on with her life when a seemingly mundane act–picking up a few envelopes of prints at a photo lab–puts her at the nexus of a global network of crime. A shadowy figure of a man appears in almost every picture she’s taken in the last year, lurking just far enough away to make identification impossible. Now the FBI is at her door, some serious bad guys are following her every move, and the family she once loved and relied on is more distant than ever. The only thing Ridley knows for sure is that she has to get to the truth about herself and her past if she’s ever going to find her way home. Charged with relentless intensity and kinetic action, playing out with unnerving suspense on the streets of New York and London, and seen through the terrified but determined eyes of a young woman whose body and heart are pushed to the point of shattering, SLIVER OF TRUTH is another triumph from the New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Lies.

"This was a much better book than the 1st book. The story was much easier to digest. The timeline 'error' I thought I had discovered in the first novel turned out to be a clue to uncover a mystery in the second novel...cool stuff! I was able to stomach the main character much easier than the first book...but I truly hope there are no more of her, because I would navigate to reading it and I still do not like Ridley. If you read the first book, Beautiful Lies, you must read this one too, it is worth the 8 hours, for me it at least. It left me feeling that it is finished; or is it...?"

    " I was disappointed in Part 1 of this sequel. The transition from the first book felt rough and rehashed so much, I lost interest in the story. Thankfully, Parts 2 and 3 moved forward and established suspense that kept up through the end! "

    " It was good to see Ridley Jones again. I enjoyed her in the first book, Beautiful Lies, even though I found it rather predictable, as a thriller. This book was more intense, with the stakes being higher, as it seemed that even more people were trying to kill her now, simply because she knew too much. I have to say that this one had more intrigue in it for me than the last one, and there were many more surprises. I hope Lisa Unger revisits Ridley Jones again soon. "

    " A solid follow up to Beautiful Lies. As the story moves along, the the mystery burrows deeper and the action intensifies. The cutting back and forth between memory and sequences within the current time line add depth of consequence and perspective. "
